As something else then can the Americans here tell me whether the Daily Wire is something with a wide reach in the US? (Wiki isn't really helping me here.) I'm contemplating whether to make a debuking thread or not (you know in the vein of the debuking thread I had about the gold teeth pulling and the lion cub dessication.). It's claimed in that media, and possibly in others too, that the recent statement in the Danish parliament about it being noted as a concern that there's areas with more immigrants than Danes, isn't that, but instead a law forbidden immigrants (read Muslims) from living in certain areas due to said areas being too brown. Obviously that's downright lies and slander. That Danishness note firstly wasn't a law at all and only a parliamentary note, secondly it has been admitted by everybody sans O that it was formulated in an unfortunate way, and thirdly it's a storm in a glass of water.

1. i've never heard of the daily wire
2. you probably mean either debunk or rebuke, although debuke is a cool portmanteau
3. gopher it
4. take this out of the thread
 
Well I think we all should focus that we only need one more player!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Anyone who doesn't sign up for this game will be debuked by Wagonlitz at noon tomorrow, in the cafeteria, in front of everyone, with several videos being recorded on mobile phones and posted on the Internet for all to see.
 
Look at the post above; you two aren't in the game, but still are knowledgeable Americans and hence might know how much reach this media has. Anyway I'm making the thread at the moment. It would appear that the media has tried to clean up their article after they were made aware by DR that it was downright lies what they wrote, although it's still wrong, but now it's more subtle with the message being the same (to me as a non native English speaker at least).
 
While I don't think there should be an issue, since there is still a fair amount of time, I will start the game with 16 people if we don't get another person by 14:30 EST tomorrow. I do want to get on with this while I still have time to do it properly.

EDIT: I will likely push that back to 12:30 EST, as I want to get through with a full day of voting, if possible.

Remember to start the game properly so that you don't shaft the village by robbing them of a scan.
 
Being an American, but not necessarily a knowledgeable one, I can safely say that I really was only marginally aware of the existence of such a publication as the Daily Wire. I'd argue that I'm at least slightly knowledgeable about of the hierarchy of relatively intellectually respectable conservative publications in the US (National Review... Weekly Standard... American Conservative... Reason... all of which deplored Trump at first, it should be noted) though I would hardly consider these publications to be part of my usual news analysis diet. My highly subjective take on the matter would be that your interpretation was correct -- the editors backed down... slightly. I would argue that they are grossly and misleadingly exaggerating more than utterly fabricating, though. The editors are pretty clearly more interested in attracting clicks from masses of angry xenophobes who just want to confirm their pre-existing conviction that immigration is destroying Europe than they are in serious journalism or analysis. To be clear, the story as they have it is basically the perfect confluence of everything that their target audience would like to believe to be true about the world. Their narrative goes something like this: Europeans generally and Scandinavians in particular are effete welfare-loving immigrant-hugging pansies, and the treasonous Democrats want to make the US just like Europe, but look! The silly Danes let in too many immigrants, and because immigrants = death/crime/poverty, naturally they now have to pass laws repressing their immigrants. See, you sanctimonious and degenerate Democrats? Even your precious socialist Scandinavians are cutting back on immigration! Anti-intellectualism is part of the whole point.

Curiously enough, the editor of the Daily Wire gave this interview shortly after the election to Vox, which I would've thought him to consider an atrocious elitist lefty rag.

Alright, I don't think anyone is showing up. Too bad, because I think we could have gotten to 17 had I waited, but I'm interested in getting on with things.

With that being said, since we're starting with 16, I did have to do those particular die rolls Wagon mentioned. And thus:

The hunted player was not the seer. The seer gets a random scan.

Expect to get your roles out shortly. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to PM me.
 
Alright, all the roles should be sent out. If anyone has any issues, again, take it up with me in a private conversation.

Otherwise, good luck all and let's get going!

First deadline (Day 1 and Night 1) will occur at 14:30 EST (19:30 UTC) on February 23rd, 2017.

So, who should we vote?
 
I am hurt. Hurt and rejected. Cold, is the Wagonlitz that votes his one true friend.
Huh?

Also I feel like I'm opening a thread in OT pretty much every day these days; today it's a rant about how a Dane was charged with blasphemy for burning a Koran---first blasphemy charge since 1971. (And no blasphemy conviction has been justified since the 1938 conviction of four men for spreading anti semitic material (racism laws only came about a year after that conviction).)

VOTE WAGONLITZ

I shall not allow the thread to become an advertisement for this Danish propaganda

I turn to you for guidance and you vote me. How can I not feel the cold tendrils of betrayal constrict my heart?
